ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE REAR TAILLIGHT OR AS IT'S CALLED THE REAR RACETRACK LIGHT FILLS WITH WATER IN THE LOWER RIGHT AND LEFT CORNERS WHEN IT'S RAINING. THIS HAS CAUSED SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND NOW SOME OF THE LED HAVE SHORTED. VISIBILITY OF MY REAR LIGHTS HAS DECREASED BECAUSE OF THE MOISTURE INSIDE THE TAILLIGHT.

POWER TRAIN
IT WAS NOTED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THAT THE CAR WILL SHIFT REALLY HARD WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 1ST. THE HARD SHIFT WILL SOMETIMES CAUSE A JERKING MOTION IN THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TODAY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CARE MANY TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE TOLD ME EACH TIME THAT EITHER A SOFTWARE UPDATED WAS NEEDED OR THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. PLEASE NOTE THE ISSUE IS NOT EVERY TIME. THE PROBLEM DOES COME AND GO. LAST FRIDAY, 2/15, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. I WOULD PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND IT WAS AS IF I WERE STILL IN PARK. AFTER A FEW TRIES, I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WENT INTO REVERSE WITH NO PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY SATURDAY 2/16, AFTER I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD AS IF IT WERE STILL IN GEAR. I AGAIN RESTARTED THE CAR, THIS TIME A FEW TIMES, JUST TO SEE IF THE CAR WOULD DO IT AGAIN. IT DID NOT. YESTERDAY, THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE, A NOISE WOULD COME FROM THE SHIFTER KNOB AREA EACH TIME THE BRAKE WAS PRESSED. THE KNOW HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE BY BOB BAKER DEALERSHIP. ON TOP OF THESE ISSUE, THE ELECTRONICS HAVE GONE OUT ON THE DASHBOARD WHERE THE CLIMATE CONTROL, RADIO, ETC ARE LOCATED. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TRY AND GET THIS ISSUES ADDRESS AT BOB BAKER DEALERSHIP. I HAVE 20 PAGES OF SERVICE HISTORY ON THIS CAR, MOST OF IT ARE REGARDING THE VERY HARD DOWNSHIFTING.BELOW I WILL MARK THE DATE THE MOST RECENT ISSUE HAPPENED WITH THE CAR. *TR

THE REAR TAILLIGHT OR AS IT'S CALLED THE REAR 'RACETRACK' LIGHT FILLS WITH WATER WHEN IT'S RAINING. THIS HAS CAUSED SOME ELECTRIC ISSUES AND NOW SOME OF THE LED HAVE SHORTED. VISIBILITY OF MY REAR LIGHTS HAS DECREASED BECAUSE OF THE MOISTURE INSIDE THE TAILLIGHT, AND IT'S ONLY MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ALL OF THE REMAINING LED BULBS ARE SHORTED OUT AS WELL.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WENT TO DRIVE MY 2016 DURANGO THIS MORNING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES, AND LETTING IT WARM UP, IT WENT INTO REVERSE. TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE TO READ THE CODE (P1B14) AND FOR THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PARK- REVERSE DIAL. COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO IT WAS PUT INTO PARK AND THE CAR DROVE FORWARD ON ITS OWN. I GUESS SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO GET INJURED BEFORE CHRYSLER GETS IT TOGETHER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
"TAKATA RECALL" I'VE HAD SEVERAL EXPERIENCES WITH MY 2016 DODGE DURANGO THAT WAS BOUGHT BRAND IN JUNE OR JULY 2016 WITH 23 MILES ON IT FROM A DODGE DEALERSHIP. A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER IT WAS BOUGHT, THE CAR CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING PRESENTING SIGNALS OF "PULL OVER", "CHECK ENGINE", "POWER TRAIN" AND MORE. THE SIGNALS WERE FLASHING NON STOP. ONCE I PULLED OVER, THE CAR WOULDN'T START OR MOVE SO I PUT IT IN PARK AND CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE REPAIRS LIED WITH THE COMPUTER CHIP(S). IT WAS A SIMPLE UPDATE NEEDED. MY HUSBAND AND I PAID FOR THAT. IN MARCH/APRIL OF 2017, WE EXPERIENCED OUR CAR ROLLING INTO THE NEIGHBORS YARD WHILE ON AND IN PARK. OUR HOME CAMERA TAPED ME GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IN PARK (ACCORDING TO THE REAR LIGHTS) IN MY FRONT YARD ON THE GRASS AND THEN THE CAR MOVING FORWARD OF WHICH THE CAMERA STOPPED RECORDING AT THIS MOMENT. WHEN I WALKED BACK OUTSIDE TO MY CAR, IT WAS ROLLING ONTO THE NEIGHBORS' PROPERTY. I HAD TO RUN AND CATCH IT. IN THE LATER MONTHS OF 2017, THE GAS LEVER STOPPED WORKING. AFTER PUSHING THE GAS BUTTON, IT WOULDN'T OPEN AND STILL DOESN'T OPEN, SO WE HAVE TO OPEN THE GAS USING THE "STRING" OR PULLEY IN THE TRUNK SPACE OF THE DURANGO BY LIFTING THE LIFT GATE TO GET TO IT. IN DECEMBER 2018, THE CAR WOULDN'T START. DODGE TOWED IT TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND A NEW BATTERY WAS NEEDED ALONG WITH RECALL UPDATES. JANUARY 2019, THE VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD WENT OUT WITH NO LIGHTING OR ANYTHING SHOWING ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS OPERABLE. IT IS CURRENTLY STILL IN THE SHOP WHILE MY FAMILY OF 5 IS OPERATING WITH ONE VEHICLE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT. IT FULLY WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING INTO A PARKING LOT FROM A HIGHWAY EXIT. THE TRUCK STARTED MAKING SOUNDS AND WILL NOT TURN NOW. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 60,000 MILES. I HAVE SEEN WHERE OTHER DODGE AND RAM VEHICLES ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES WHERE THE POWER STEERING HAS COMPLETELY GONE OUT AS MINE HAS. WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEM EVERY TIME I TURN THE WHEEL YOU HEAR A SCREECHING AND ELECTRONIC OR BEING SOUND (AS IF AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE HAS FAILED). I STARTED TO NOTICE A DULL OR NUMB STEERING FEELING TO THE VEHICLE WHICH NOW HAS PROGRESSED INTO UNABLE TO USE ONE BIT. FIAT CHRYSLER HAS INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE READ THAT SIMILAR DODGE, CHRYSLER AND RAM VEHICLES IN OUR YEAR RANGE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS AS WELL. IT'S NOT REALISTIC FOR SOMEONE WHOM IS STILL PAYING FOR A VEHICLE TO NOW BE REQUIRED TO PAY $3,000+ IN REPAIRS TO FIX THIS VEHICLE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT WHILE DRIVING MY ENGINE SHUT OFF! THE REPAIR SHOP "FIXED" THE ISSUE BUT THE DAY I DROVE HOME IT DIED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AND I HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE REPAIR LASTED MAYBE 6 MONTHS? THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. THE SERVICE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND ABOUT PROVIDING A RENTAL AND COVERING THE REPAIRS. I CANNOT BE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING! WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE GOING 70 MPH TO WORK IN AUSTIN?! I'M NOT WRECKING AND DIEING BECAUSE OF A LEMON CAR WITH SAFETY ISSUES

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ,WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED,TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING DOWN DUE TO ROAD REPAIR, I APPLIED MY BRAKES LIGHTLY TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, BUT THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN A FORWARD THRUST. I WAS FAST APPROACHING A VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME, AND BEFORE I REALISED I WASNT GOING TO STOP WITH FURTHER APPLICATION OF MY BREAKS, I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME RESULTING IN A NEAR FATAL COLISION. I WAS SAVED BY MY SEAT BELT AND THE AIR BAGS. I CAN ONLY ESTIMATE MY SPEED AT THE TIME OF COLLISION TO BE BETWEEN 40 OR 50 MPH, AS MY CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET AT 62 MPH *TT
